Intrusion Detection: Machine Learning Techniques For Software Defined Networks, Jacob S. Rodriguez Aug 2023

Intrusion Detection: Machine Learning Techniques For Software Defined Networks, Jacob S. Rodriguez

Masters Theses

In recent years, software defined networking (SDN) has gained popularity as a novel approach towards network management and architecture. Compared to traditional network architectures, this software-based approach offers greater flexibility, programmability, and automation. However, despite the advantages of this system, there still remains the possibility that it could be compromised. As we continue to explore new approaches to network management, we must also develop new ways of protecting those systems from threats. Throughout this paper, I will describe and test a network intrusion detection system (NIDS), and how it can be implemented within a software defined network. This system will …

Computer Vision Faculty Publications

Automatic radiology reporting has great clinical potential to relieve radiologists from heavy workloads and improve diagnosis interpretation. Recently, researchers have enhanced data-driven neural networks with medical knowledge graphs to eliminate the severe visual and textual bias in this task. The structures of such graphs are exploited by using the clinical dependencies formed by the disease topic tags via general knowledge and usually do not update during the training process. Consequently, the fixed graphs can not guarantee the most appropriate scope of knowledge and limit the effectiveness. To address the limitation, we propose a knowledge graph with Dynamic structure and nodes …

3d Semantic Segmentation In The Wild: Learning Generalized Models For Adverse-Condition Point Clouds, Aoran Xiao, Jiaxing Huang, Weihao Xuan, Ruijie Ren, Kangcheng Liu, Dayan Guan, Abdulmotaleb El Saddik, Shijian Lu, Eric Xing Aug 2023

3d Semantic Segmentation In The Wild: Learning Generalized Models For Adverse-Condition Point Clouds, Aoran Xiao, Jiaxing Huang, Weihao Xuan, Ruijie Ren, Kangcheng Liu, Dayan Guan, Abdulmotaleb El Saddik, Shijian Lu, Eric Xing

Computer Vision Faculty Publications

Robust point cloud parsing under all-weather conditions is crucial to level-5 autonomy in autonomous driving. However, how to learn a universal 3D semantic segmentation (3DSS) model is largely neglected as most existing benchmarks are dominated by point clouds captured under normal weather. We introduce SemanticSTF, an adverse-weather point cloud dataset that provides dense point-level annotations and allows to study 3DSS under various adverse weather conditions. We study all-weather 3DSS modeling under two setups: 1) domain adaptive 3DSS that adapts from normal-weather data to adverse-weather data; 2) domain generalizable 3DSS that learns all-weather 3DSS models from normal-weather data. Our studies reveal …

Ifseg: Image-Free Semantic Segmentation Via Vision-Language Model, Sukmin Yun, Seong Hyeon Park, Paul Hongsuck Seo, Jinwoo Shin

Machine Learning Faculty Publications

Vision-language (VL) pre-training has recently gained much attention for its transferability and flexibility in novel concepts (e.g., cross-modality transfer) across various visual tasks. However, VL-driven segmentation has been under-explored, and the existing approaches still have the burden of acquiring additional training images or even segmentation annotations to adapt a VL model to downstream segmentation tasks. In this paper, we introduce a novel image-free segmentation task where the goal is to perform semantic segmentation given only a set of the target semantic categories, but without any task-specific images and annotations. To tackle this challenging task, our proposed method, coined IFSeg, generates …

Unsupervised Sampling Promoting For Stochastic Human Trajectory Prediction, Guangyi Chen, Zhenhao Chen, Shunxing Fan, Kun Zhang Aug 2023

Unsupervised Sampling Promoting For Stochastic Human Trajectory Prediction, Guangyi Chen, Zhenhao Chen, Shunxing Fan, Kun Zhang

Machine Learning Faculty Publications

The indeterminate nature of human motion requires trajectory prediction systems to use a probabilistic model to formulate the multi-modality phenomenon and infer a finite set of future trajectories. However, the inference processes of most existing methods rely on Monte Carlo random sampling, which is insufficient to cover the realistic paths with finite samples, due to the long tail effect of the predicted distribution. To promote the sampling process of stochastic prediction, we propose a novel method, called BOsampler, to adaptively mine potential paths with Bayesian optimization in an unsupervised manner, as a sequential design strategy in which new prediction is …

3d-Aware Multi-Class Image-To-Image Translation With Nerfs, Senmao Li, Joost Van De Weijer, Yaxing Wang, Fahad Shahbaz Khan, Meiqin Liu, Jian Yang

Computer Vision Faculty Publications

Recent advances in 3D-aware generative models (3D-aware GANs) combined with Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) have achieved impressive results. However no prior works investigate 3D-aware GANs for 3D consistent multiclass image-to-image (3D-aware 121) translation. Naively using 2D-121 translation methods suffers from unrealistic shape/identity change. To perform 3D-aware multiclass 121 translation, we decouple this learning process into a multiclass 3D-aware GAN step and a 3D-aware 121 translation step. In the first step, we propose two novel techniques: a new conditional architecture and an effective training strategy. In the second step, based on the well-trained multiclass 3D-aware GAN architecture, that preserves view-consistency, we …

Kd-Dlgan: Data Limited Image Generation Via Knowledge Distillation, Kaiwen Cui, Yingchen Yu, Fangneng Zhan, Shengcai Liao, Shijian Lu, Eric Xing Aug 2023

Kd-Dlgan: Data Limited Image Generation Via Knowledge Distillation, Kaiwen Cui, Yingchen Yu, Fangneng Zhan, Shengcai Liao, Shijian Lu, Eric Xing

Machine Learning Faculty Publications

Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) rely heavily on large-scale training data for training high-quality image generation models. With limited training data, the GAN discriminator often suffers from severe overfitting which directly leads to degraded generation especially in generation diversity. Inspired by the recent advances in knowledge distillation (KD), we propose KD-DLGAN, a knowledge-distillation based generation framework that introduces pre-trained vision-language models for training effective data-limited generation models. KD-DLGAN consists of two innovative designs. The first is aggregated generative KD that mitigates the discriminator overfitting by challenging the discriminator with harder learning tasks and distilling more generalizable knowledge from the pre-trained models. …

Discriminative Co-Saliency And Background Mining Transformer For Co-Salient Object Detection, Long Li, Junwei Han, Ni Zhang, Nian Liu, Salman Khan, Hisham Cholakkal, Rao Muhammad Anwer, Fahad Shahbaz Khan Aug 2023

Discriminative Co-Saliency And Background Mining Transformer For Co-Salient Object Detection, Long Li, Junwei Han, Ni Zhang, Nian Liu, Salman Khan, Hisham Cholakkal, Rao Muhammad Anwer, Fahad Shahbaz Khan

Computer Vision Faculty Publications

Most previous co-salient object detection works mainly focus on extracting co-salient cues via mining the consistency relations across images while ignore explicit exploration of background regions. In this paper, we propose a Discriminative co-saliency and background Mining Transformer framework (DMT) based on several economical multi-grained correlation modules to explicitly mine both co-saliency and background information and effectively model their discrimination. Specifically, we first propose a region-to-region correlation module for introducing inter-image relations to pixel-wise segmentation features while maintaining computational efficiency. Then, we use two types of pre-defined tokens to mine co-saliency and background information via our proposed contrast-induced pixel-to-token correlation …

Burstormer: Burst Image Restoration And Enhancement Transformer, Akshay Dudhane, Syed Waqas Zamir, Salman Khan, Fahad Shahbaz Khan, Ming Hsuan Yang Aug 2023

Burstormer: Burst Image Restoration And Enhancement Transformer, Akshay Dudhane, Syed Waqas Zamir, Salman Khan, Fahad Shahbaz Khan, Ming Hsuan Yang

Computer Vision Faculty Publications

On a shutter press, modern handheld cameras capture multiple images in rapid succession and merge them to generate a single image. However, individual frames in a burst are misaligned due to inevitable motions and contain multiple degradations. The challenge is to properly align the successive image shots and merge their complementary information to achieve high-quality outputs. Towards this direction, we propose Burstormer: a novel transformer-based architecture for burst image restoration and enhancement. In comparison to existing works, our approach exploits multi-scale local and non-local features to achieve improved alignment and feature fusion. Our key idea is to enable inter-frame communication …

Clip2protect: Protecting Facial Privacy Using Text-Guided Makeup Via Adversarial Latent Search, Fahad Shamshad, Muzammal Naseer, Karthik Nandakumar

Computer Vision Faculty Publications

The success of deep learning based face recognition systems has given rise to serious privacy concerns due to their ability to enable unauthorized tracking of users in the digital world. Existing methods for enhancing privacy fail to generate 'naturalistic' images that can protect facial privacy without compromising user experience. We propose a novel two-step approach for facial privacy protection that relies on finding adversarial latent codes in the low- dimensional manifold of a pretrained generative model. The first step inverts the given face image into the latent space and finetunes the generative model to achieve an accurate reconstruction of the …

Multiclass Confidence And Localization Calibration For Object Detection, Bimsara Pathiraja, Malitha Gunawardhana, Muhammad Haris Khan Aug 2023

Multiclass Confidence And Localization Calibration For Object Detection, Bimsara Pathiraja, Malitha Gunawardhana, Muhammad Haris Khan

Computer Vision Faculty Publications

Albeit achieving high predictive accuracy across many challenging computer vision problems, recent studies suggest that deep neural networks (DNNs) tend to make over-confident predictions, rendering them poorly calibrated. Most of the existing attempts for improving DNN calibration are limited to classification tasks and restricted to calibrating in-domain predictions. Surprisingly, very little to no attempts have been made in studying the calibration of object detection methods, which occupy a pivotal space in vision-based security-sensitive, and safety-critical applications. In this paper, we propose a new train-time technique for calibrating modern object detection methods. It is capable of jointly calibrating multiclass confidence and …

N-Shot Benchmarking Of Whisper On Diverse Arabic Speech Recognition, Bashar Talafha, Abdul Waheed, Muhammad Abdul-Mageed

Natural Language Processing Faculty Publications

Whisper, the recently developed multilingual weakly supervised model, is reported to perform well on multiple speech recognition benchmarks in both monolingual and multilingual settings. However, it is not clear how Whisper would fare under diverse conditions even on languages it was evaluated on such as Arabic. In this work, we address this gap by comprehensively evaluating Whisper on several varieties of Arabic speech for the ASR task. Our evaluation covers most publicly available Arabic speech data and is performed under n-shot (zero-, few-, and full) finetuning. We also investigate the robustness of Whisper under completely novel conditions, such as in …

Verifying Empirical Predictive Modeling Of Societal Vulnerability To Hazardous Events: A Monte Carlo Experimental Approach, Yi Victor Wang, Seung Hee Kim, Menas C. Kafatos Aug 2023

Verifying Empirical Predictive Modeling Of Societal Vulnerability To Hazardous Events: A Monte Carlo Experimental Approach, Yi Victor Wang, Seung Hee Kim, Menas C. Kafatos

Institute for ECHO Articles and Research

With the emergence of large amounts of historical records on adverse impacts of hazardous events, empirical predictive modeling has been revived as a foundational paradigm for quantifying disaster vulnerability of societal systems. This paradigm models societal vulnerability to hazardous events as a vulnerability curve indicating an expected loss rate of a societal system with respect to a possible spectrum of intensity measure (IM) of an event. Although the empirical predictive models (EPMs) of societal vulnerability are calibrated on historical data, they should not be experimentally tested with data derived from field experiments on any societal system. Alternatively, in this paper, …

Vision Language Navigation With Knowledge-Driven Environmental Dreamer, Fengda Zhu, Vincent C.S. Lee, Xiaojun Chang, Xiaodan Liang Aug 2023

Vision Language Navigation With Knowledge-Driven Environmental Dreamer, Fengda Zhu, Vincent C.S. Lee, Xiaojun Chang, Xiaodan Liang

Computer Vision Faculty Publications

Vision-language navigation (VLN) requires an agent to perceive visual observation in a house scene and navigate step-by-step following natural language instruction. Due to the high cost of data annotation and data collection, current VLN datasets provide limited instruction-trajectory data samples. Learning vision-language alignment for VLN from limited data is challenging since visual observation and language instruction are both complex and diverse. Previous works only generate augmented data based on original scenes while failing to generate data samples from unseen scenes, which limits the generalization ability of the navigation agent. In this paper, we introduce the Knowledge-driven Environmental Dreamer (KED), a …

Reinforcement Learning Approach To Stochastic Vehicle Routing Problem With Correlated Demands, Zangir Iklassov, Ikboljon Sobirov, Ruben Solozabal, Martin Takac Aug 2023

Reinforcement Learning Approach To Stochastic Vehicle Routing Problem With Correlated Demands, Zangir Iklassov, Ikboljon Sobirov, Ruben Solozabal, Martin Takac

Machine Learning Faculty Publications

We present a novel end-to-end framework for solving the Vehicle Routing Problem with stochastic demands (VRPSD) using Reinforcement Learning (RL). Our formulation incorporates the correlation between stochastic demands through other observable stochastic variables, thereby offering an experimental demonstration of the theoretical premise that non-i.i.d. stochastic demands provide opportunities for improved routing solutions. Our approach bridges the gap in the application of RL to VRPSD and consists of a parameterized stochastic policy optimized using a policy gradient algorithm to generate a sequence of actions that form the solution. Our model outperforms previous state-of-the-art metaheuristics and demonstrates robustness to changes in the …
